After an extended run earlier this year at the Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center, director Mary McDonagh Murphy's fine documentary on Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning book lands on home video.

Exploring the origins and legacy of Lee's enduring novel about race relations in 20th century America, it's a wholly embraceable love letter to "Mockingbird," highlighted by the fond recollections of such American thinkers as Tom Brokaw, Oprah Winfrey and Roseanna Cash.

Even if "Hey, Boo" fails to break much new ground -- most notably, it doesn't land the big "get": an interview with the reclusive Lee herself -- it's compelling stuff. Not only will it warm the hearts of fans of the book, but it might make also them reach for it one more time.

Former "That '70s Show" star Topher Grace goes all '80s in a coming-of-age comedy about a recent MIT graduate who -- much to his parents' chagrin -- takes a job at a video store while he tries to figure out what to do with his life.

Anna Faris is his twin sister, undergoing a similar crisis; Dan Fogler plays his loserly best bud who regrets not going to college; and Teresa Palmer is Grace's high-school crush whom he runs into at an epic party that could end up putting everything into perspective for him.

Director Michael Dowse's movie makes the most of its 1980s setting -- spinning a fun soundtrack and obviously relishing the chance to make his cast don goofy 1980s fashions again. But when it comes down to it, that kind of gimmicky window-dressing can help only so much. In fact, it seems the only real reason for this film to be set in the 1980s at all is to distract from the fact that there's very little else there -- very little plot, very little originality, and very little worth remembering.

Earlier this month we got the premiere on Starz of "Torchwood: Miracle Day, " the fourth season of this "Dr. Who" spinoff. And today, the previous three seasons land on DVD in a 14-disc set (or 12 Blu-ray discs).

If that's not enough, the two-disc "Doctor Who: Series 6, Part 1" arrives the same day.

Oh, to be geeky!

Running time: 26-plus hours, plus 10 hours of bonus content.

How's this for timing: Just as the 2011 New Orleans French Film Festival wraps up, a Blu-ray edition of director Jean-Pierre Jeunet's 2001 French charmer hits store shelves, a vividly colored romance starring a sweet-as-you-please Audrey Tautou as a quirky do-gooder with a mystery to solve -- and a romance to indulge.

How could it get better? On the same day, we also get a Blu-Ray edition of 2000's "Chocolat."
